FAQ
Questions from clubs, organisers and venues.
Straight answers about how NextArena runs your competitions and your club, and brings every match to life.
What is NextArena?
NextArena is the live sport platform for padel, pickleball and other court sports. It runs tournaments, leagues and clubs, and brings live scores to venue screens, live streams and public event pages.
Which sports does NextArena support?
Padel, pickleball, squash and badminton today. More court and team sports are planned.
Is there a free plan?
Yes. Tournaments and leagues with up to 10 registrants are free, with a public event page and online registration. Upgrade when your event needs more.
Can NextArena run our club?
Yes. ClubOS gives your club a public club page, membership applications, a private member directory, membership options and optional paid membership through Stripe. ClubOS needs an active ClubOS subscription.
Can we live stream our matches?
Yes. Start a stream from the event workspace and send it from OBS Studio, Moblin or another RTMP app. A live score bar shows under the stream on the public event page. Stream management is part of the Live Event package.
What can I buy from NextArena?
You can start with standalone tournament and league software, venue display software, physical venue hardware, or a connected combination of these layers.
Can I use NextArena software without buying hardware?
Yes. You can use tournament and league setup, public event pages, registration, scheduling and scoring without venue hardware. Hardware can be added when it makes sense for your venue.
What is Ask NextArena?
Ask NextArena is the AI assistant included with the Core software package. Organisers can ask questions about their event, identify schedule or court issues and prepare changes from inside the command centre, with proposed operational changes kept behind an explicit review step.
What software powers the displays?
NextArena display software turns live event data into content for venue screens and touchpoints, including scores, schedules and player information.
What venue hardware do you provide?
The hardware range includes Arena Liveboards, Court Displays, Check-in Kiosks, Courtside Live Scoring displays, streaming equipment and other venue technology modules.
Can the software and hardware work together?
Yes. The software can run the event workflow while connected displays show live information across the venue, including scores and schedules.
Does NextArena replace our booking or venue systems?
No. NextArena is designed to work alongside existing venue and booking systems as the tournament, event operations and venue-experience layer.
How do we choose the right NextArena setup?
